721 Main St., Plymouth

Built around 1790, the house at 721 Main Street in Plymouth was the home of Silas Hoadley, a clockmaker. A cousin of the architect and builder David Hoadley, Silas Hoadley (1786-1870) formed the clock-making partnership of Terry, Thomas & Hoadley with Seth Thomas and Eli Terry in 1809. His partners later withdrew to form their own companies and Hoadley continued making clocks on his own until 1849.
